e. Alvin plant asset cost $32,000 and is estimated to have a $4,000 salvage value at the end of its 8-year useful life. The annual depreciation expense recorded for the third year using the double-declining-balance method would it be $4500?

f. On July 1,2000, Woowoo sells equipment for $44,000. The equipment originally cost $120,000, had an estimated 5-year life and an excepted salvage value of $20,000.The Accumulated Depreciation account had a balance of $70,000 on January 1,2000. Using the straight-line method. What would be the gain or loss on the disposal? I came up with $4000 loss

The depreciation per year is 120,000-20,000/5=20,000
The depreciation for Jan to June of 2000 is 10,000
The total accumulated depreciation as on July 1,2000 is 80,000
Book Value = 120,000-80,000=40,000
The equipment is sold for 44,000

g. From the standpoint of the issuing company, a disadvantage of using bonds as a means of long-term financing is
that bond interest is deductible for tax purposes or
interest must be paid on a periodic basis regardless of earnings or
income to stockholders may increase as a result of trading on the equity or
the bondholders do not have voting rights?

This is the disadvantage, if the interest is not paid the firm could go into liquidation.

h. If the market rate of interest is greater than the contractual rate of interest, bonds will they sell at a premium,or face value,or discount or only after the stated rate of interest is increased?

If the market rate is greater then the bonds will sell at a discount. This is because only if the investors buy the bonds at a discount they can push the yield up to equal the higher interest rate.

i. The present value of a $10,000,5-year bond, will be less than $10,000
if the contractual rate of interest is less than he market rate of interest or
contractual rate of interest is greater than the market rate of interest or
bond is convertible or
contractual rate of interest is equal to the market rate of interest?

If the contractual rate of return is less, then the bond payments would be discounted at a higher rate. This would reduce the PV of the bond cash flows and so the PV will be less than the face value.

j. If bonds are issued at a discount, does it mean that
the financial strength of the issuer is suspect or
market interest rate is higher than the contractual interest rate or
market interest rate is lower than the contractual interest rate or
bondholder will receive effectively less interest than the contractual rate of interest?

If the market rate is greater then the bonds will sell at a discount. This is because only if the investors buy the bonds at a discount they can push the yield up to equal the higher interest rate.

The bond is sold on October 1 for $1,050 plus accrued interest. Interest has not been accrued since the last interest payment date. What is the entry to record the cash proceeds at the time the bond is sold?

The interest for 3 months is 1,000X12%X3/12=$30. This will be recorded as interest revenue. Total cash received is $1,080 and there is a $10 gain on sale.

L. Which of the following is not a true statement about the accounting for long-term debt investments?
would the investment is initially recorded at cost or
the cost includes any brokerage fees or
the accounting for long-term debt investments is similar to the accounting for temporary debt investments or
the cost includes any accrued interest

The accounting for temporary investment is done as trading securities and for long term it could be either Available for Sale or Held to Maturity and so both are different.

c. recognize an Unrealized Gain or Loss-Income for $3,000
